lyrics
I found you treading water,
Clinging to a piece of 4 by 2;
Heading nowhere -
And your lips were turning blue.
A hundred days in a haze of salty air
and burning sun
Had driven you crazy,
You’d given your all but you were done.
You said I saved you,
But I was drifting without you -
You and your 4 by 2
Baby came along and saved me too,
‘Cause it’s hard to get to shore
in a dinghy with one oar.
You were going in circles -
Always pulling to the right.
Lost your bearings
When the land slipped out of sight,
Reading seaweed like tea leaves
hoping they’d tell you what to do,
When all you needed
Was my piece of 4 by 2.
Baby now that you’re on board,
Instead of going with the flow
Stick your oar in
And choose which way to go,
‘Cause it’s hard to get to shore
In a dinghy with one oar,
Our hopes are better
When we pull together.
Pull together.
Clinging to a piece of 4 by 2;
Heading nowhere -
And your lips were turning blue.
A hundred days in a haze of salty air
and burning sun
Had driven you crazy,
You’d given your all but you were done.
You said I saved you,
But I was drifting without you -
You and your 4 by 2
Baby came along and saved me too,
‘Cause it’s hard to get to shore
in a dinghy with one oar.
You were going in circles -
Always pulling to the right.
Lost your bearings
When the land slipped out of sight,
Reading seaweed like tea leaves
hoping they’d tell you what to do,
When all you needed
Was my piece of 4 by 2.
Baby now that you’re on board,
Instead of going with the flow
Stick your oar in
And choose which way to go,
‘Cause it’s hard to get to shore
In a dinghy with one oar,
Our hopes are better
When we pull together.
Pull together.

about
Kenna & Cox Paris, France
A chance encounter in a Paris bar in 2008 launched a serendipitous collaboration between two Australian musicians: Chris Kenna and Melissa Cox ("he with the voice and soul to raise the dead and she with the melody to make them glad to be alive"). Together, Kenna and Cox have played at festivals around Europe, including in the Netherlands and Ireland, and supported Alabama 3 at Tripod in Dublin. ... more
